A new and exclusive version has been announced for the popular and highly acclaimed “Master Grade Extreme” (MGEX) model kit of the Strike Freedom Gundam.
The “MGEX 1/100 Strike Freedom Gundam [Mechanical Clear]” is part of the “Master Grade Extreme” line of high-end 1/100 scale Gunpla that represents the pinnacle of the Master Grade series, with each release focusing on a different “extreme” point of engineering.

The original “MGEX Strike Freedom Gundam” was a massive success, and its “extreme point” was the pursuit of the “highest metallic expression” in the history of Gunpla.

This was achieved through the use of a multi-layered internal frame that combined three different types of gold plating with a variety of other metallic-molded parts.
